There is a free shuttle from under the Linq High Roller Observation Wheel (yards from the Strip from 9:30am) to the Orleans (May 2016).
There is an exception to the 'hotel prices are high' concept: The Orleans liquor store (10am - midnight). There are too many, and their prices are not usually very good. There is no discussion of the small 'convenience stores' here. Not exhaustive, but is a listing of the places most convenient for tourists in the usual tourist haunts. So there are frequent requests on the Tripadvisor Forum for liquor stores, drug stores and grocery stores that are convenient to the Strip (or downtown). Just about every casino or resort has a small gift shop which sells snacks, beverages (including alcohol) and sundries.
